MATERIALIzING A GHOST.


A Newark tN. J.) special says: There is
much excitement among the goods people
OF the Twelfth Ward over "a ghost whici
hes been perambulsting about that bail-
wick for the past two weeks, and which
they hope soon To materiaiZe. The scene
Of The ghostly yisitations is the beautiful
grounds surrounding the old Dodd home
stead, which occupy the whole block
bounded by Market, Chamber, and Fred.
erick streets and Passaie avenue. The
homestead 1. now occupied by an old lidy
named Oliver, who, in the absence OF Miss
Ward. sister OF Mrs. Dr. Dodd. who
usually resides there, Is toe sole occupant.
The grounds. winch are on a slight eleya,
ton above the streets, are dotted by trees
and shrubs, which form convenient shelter
for his ghostsbip, and the brush In the rear
of the picketfeDce has given him more
than Que chance TO escape. The yisitatioDs
have been almost nightly, and have con-
tinued for three weeks.
Mr.. Loder, a carpenter, who resides In
Frederic street, in another house belong-
ing to DIR. Dodd, and who has charge o! the
property, when he heard Of the matter de-
termlned TO solve IL II possible, but the
more he watched the thicker became the
mystery, and even while be was watching

In another part of the grounds, and he and

tive measures. In the mean time, At all!
times OF the night the silent figure clothed

very earth and glide nolselessly about.
One morning as tbs hmp.ligater
was going his usual rounds extin-
gushing the lights he saw the ghost, aud
the next week st the same hour he saw Il
again. The women and children living In
